My younger brother, Gary/Gamel; my elder brother, Yusuf; and I were tighter when we were younger. Maybe we are still tight in our own ways, but I don't know for sure. I was born in Kings County Hospital, lived in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, until age six, and moved to Ebbets Field in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, until the age of twelve or thirteen. Then my parents bought a house in Martense Court, Flatbush, Brooklyn. That was when my life really changed.view less
